Public Pot Smoking is a Petty Offense in Castle Rock

July 16, 2013

Smoking marijuana in public in Castle Rock will be dealt with similarly to how police deal with open consumption of alcohol.

Castle Rock Town Clerk Sally Misare informed the Castle Rock City Council July 2 that one of the major issues the Colorado Legislature recently failed to address, regarding the state's new law legalizing marijuana, was open and public consumption of pot — and so the town police's department has decided to deal with such violations using standards similar to what's in the town's liquor code.
